I just got switched to mononessa because I was unhappy with Trivora. Well, I've only been taking it for four days now and already it seems like I'm starting my period when it just ended not even a week ago!! I am extremely upset with this medication.

Last month my pharmacy gave me Mononessa and told me it was the same drug as Sprintec. However, I have experienced weight gain, bloating, acne, and moodiness. I didn't have these symptoms while taking Sprintec. I have decided to stop taking the medication.

I have been on Sprintec for 2 years and the pharmacy gave me Monessa last month. I have not missed any pills and started my period one week early. I have been on my new pack for three days now and I am still bleeding. I have NEVER had this problem and have decided to stop taking Mononessa and try something else.

I started this brand of birth control three weeks ago. I had not taken birth control in almost fifteen years. I started on the first day of my period as indicated, and have not stopped having a period in THREE weeks! It was light at first, but got progressivly heavier, to the point that.... in the past week I have been getting blog clots every time I use the rest room (which I've never had before during my period) I've also had constant headaches, and have felt 'yucky' and overall just weak and NOT myself! I thought, it was just an adjustment period , and that it would take my body a while to adjust. But I know myself well enough to know that this is NOT normal and not healthy. I was on this site to see other peoples reaction to this brand and to try to see what constitutes 'normal' side effects. My decesion is that I will NOT take another one of these pills and go to see the doctor to find a more suitable, worthy and effective brand. As a side note, I was perscribef a different brand in the beginning but my insurance did not cover it and this is what I ended up with!! Good luck with whatever your dealing with ladies. Wishing you good health!

I've been getting my period 2 weeks early for 2 mos, in addition to the regular cycle. Increased acne, and weight gain. I did NOT react this way with Sprintec, which they told me was the same as Mononessa.
